The Devourer

Lyrics

[Intro] From the dark between the dead stars Something opened its eyes [Verse 1] Purple hide beneath the silence Sickly green eyes never blink They arrive where suns are failing They consume before we think No desire, no name, no mercy No command behind the gaze Only hunger without a heartbeat Only mouths that leave no trace [Pre-Chorus] Count them crawling through the black Count the worlds they hollow out Every birth becomes an army Every silence becomes a mouth [Chorus] Devour, devour Rot through the universe Green eyes, purple skin Nothing living leaves their reach Devour, devour Mindless as the falling dust Born from dark, bred to multiply Turn creation into rust [Verse 2] They wear planets like discarded clothing Drag their fingers through the seas Cities fold beneath their bodies Mountains vanish at their knees There is no throne and no beginning No prophet calling from above They do not hate the things they swallow They do not know the word for love [Pre-Chorus] Hear them breeding in the void Hear the distant surfaces crack Every star becomes a lantern For the swarm that follows back [Chorus] Devour, devour Rot through the universe Green eyes, purple skin Nothing living leaves their reach Devour, devour Mindless as the falling dust Born from dark, bred to multiply Turn creation into rust [Bridge] I saw one standing in the daylight Its eyes were green as poisoned rain It opened up a second mouth And called the others by no name No thought No soul No end No whole [Breakdown] They come in numbers They come without sound They press their purple bodies Into the bones of the ground They come in numbers They come without end The universe is meat now And hunger is its only friend [Final Chorus] Devour, devour Let the black horizon burst Green eyes, purple skin Drag the living from the dirt Devour, devour Let the last bright system rust Born from dark, bred to multiply Nothing remains but dust [Outro] From the dark between the dead stars More eyes open wide No soul inside them Only hunger Only hunger Only hunger
